As we reported, on February 28, 2022, Azerbaijan Union of Filmmakers announced the script competition of the short fiction films “I am a woman”.

It should be noted that the purpose of the competition is to promote the creation of modern Azerbaijani heroines in our cinema taking into account that all the cataclysms of our modern society are primarily reflected in the destinies of women, social and economic problems deal major blow to them, the unparalleled role of the Azerbaijani woman in achieving our glorious victory, despite the calamities caused to females by the tragedies of Karabakh war, the paucity of bright female characters in our cinema during the independence years.

The secretariat of AUF said that both the quantity and quality of the scripts that participated in the competition were a pleasant surprise for them.
